1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.

2 \70:1\Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

3 \70:2\Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

4 \70:3\Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

5 \70:4\Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

6 \70:5\But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me.

Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.

Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Let them be turned because of their shame

who say, "Aha! Aha!"

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

Let those who love your salvation continually say,

"Let God be exalted!"

5 But I am poor and needy.

Come to me quickly, God.

You are my help and my deliverer.

Yahweh, don’t delay.
